We’re headed into a Dark of the Moon phase as this lunar cycle slowly grinds to a close. The waning Pisces Moon offers a respite from the churn and activity of our normal schedule on this last day of the weekend, but we’re off to the races on Monday as the Moon shifts into red hot Aries. Monday’s shift to Mars fueled Aries is the prelude to Wednesday’s New Moon in Aries giving us a green light for moving forward in a big way (finally)! Mercury is no longer retrograde and slowing our efforts, and we will have a new lunar cycle to boot–sweet! So, on with our weekly predictions (Note: all times indicated in this blog are PDT).

Sunday 7 April 2013 (2 Stars): A low energy day as befits the end of a lunar cycle; we begin with a Moon-Pluto sextile at 2:37 AM. Emotions are intense and we can channel this intensity into visualization, affirmation or law of attraction work to break old habits (if we’re up in the wee hours of the day, that is). The Moon square Jupiter at 5:06 AM indicates that if we have overdone it this week in terms of working too much, eating too much, overspending, etc., our habits may come back to bite us in the you know what; slowing down a bit and throttling back on spending, etc., is the best answer for now.

Spend your evening hours working on written or verbal communications projects when the Moon conjoins Mercury at 9:10 PM. The Moon is void of course after that last aspect, so start your work prior to the last aspect and avoid new projects until the Moon enters Aries tomorrow afternoon.

Monday 8 April 2013 (2 Stars): The energy will perk up, but not until the Moon enters Aries at 12:02 PM. Your personal projects and key concerns are in the spotlight not only for the next couple of days, but all the way through the next lunar cycle (because the New Moon is also in Aries). The Dark of the Moon phase energy isn’t going to provide much lift off and neither is the fact that there are no exact aspects today, so take it easy and get ready for blast off Wednesday.

Tuesday 9 April 2013 (2 Stars): The Moon conjunct upstart Uranus at 4:56 AM jangles nerves, brings startling insights and surprising news early in the day–probably a lot earlier than you might like. Heavy handed tactics from bosses or VIP’s via a Moon square to Pluto at 9:29 AM will likely try your patience; just roll with it if you can. Optimism and a breath of fresh air in terms of our outlook arrives when the Moon forms a sextile to Jupiter at 12:50 PM.

Wednesday 10 April 2013 (3 Stars): The energy would be higher today except for a lengthy void of course Moon, but we begin with the New Moon in Aries arriving at 2:35 AM (20 degrees of Aries). Rethink the challenges that occurred during that lovely Piscean Mercury retrograde we just finished and the last lunar cycle. It’s time to reorganize, reboot and transform the situations that were wonky into something brand spanking new!

The urge to hit the floor running will strike early thanks to a conjunction between the Moon and Mars at 6:02 AM; perhaps a trip to the gym or an early morning jog will get your day off to the right start. The Moon conjoins Venus at 9:25 AM, so you might just want to jog over to the local salon for a bit of pampering before going into the office. The Moon is void of course after that last aspect until this evening; table plans for new starts until 8:22 PM when the Moon enters Taurus.

Thursday 11 April 2013 (2 Stars): The Moon is slowly gaining power as this new lunar cycle gets underway, so on this rather low energy day with the Moon in Taurus, try to spend some time in nature, review your financial statements and take pains to organize and de-clutter your spaces.

The first aspect of the day, a Moon-Neptune sextile at 5:06 AM is a great aspect for day dreaming about your goals, doing some visualization or creative work and even jotting down some notes about interesting dreams as you awaken. There will be a need to balance and compromise your needs versus the needs of others when the Moon opposes Saturn at 2:36 PM; situations and needs of the people around you may feel oppressive and burdensome at this time. Therapeutic work, research, law of attraction and networking with head honchos are all activities that benefit from a trine between the Moon and Pluto at 6:48 PM.

Friday 12 April 2013 (3 Stars): While we don’t have a void of course Moon today, nor do we have any aspects to help boost our energy, so you’ll need to bring your own sunshine to today’s events. The only celestial event on the the books for today is that Pluto, ruler of Scorpio makes its retrograde station and won’t return to forward motion until 20 September 2013–yes, you heard me correctly 20 September 2013. Pluto rules organized crime, power, sex, wisdom and mystical experiences; expect these topics to be more prevalent in the news in the next few days as Pluto shifts its energy into a more internally expressed mode than is normally the case. Scorpio natives can anticipate that their personal projects may feel stuck or stymied during this period; consider this a lengthy time out from the Universe (as if you needed another one, what with Saturn already retrograde in your sign). Make this a time to observe what’s working and what’s not and then plan to make necessary changes in the Fall.

Saturday 13 April 2013 (1 Star): This last day of a New Moon week still sports low energy, but we at least begin the day in mental high gear thanks to a sextile between the Moon and Mercury at 5:30 AM. The Moon square Neptune at 4:26 PM suggests deceptive promises or delusional thinking on our own part undermines our best intentions; postpone decision making until you have more clarity and truthful answers from others.

Mercury enters Aries at 7:37 PM so our communication and thought processes will be all about our personal needs and concerns until 2 May 2013 when Mercury moves into Taurus.

I hope you enjoyed April’s Astrological newsletter; if you missed it, it’s not too late, sign up here and I will get it out to you Monday 8 April 2013. Also, be sure you join me next week, I will be interviewed and giving free readings in an online radio show. Details forthcoming as soon as I have them! And that’s about it for now, be well and until next time…

Welcome to the end of March and Happy Easter! Moon in Sagittarius is a fun, upbeat energy that also encompasses the subject of faith, so hopefully if you’re celebrating Easter it’s a really great day for you and yours!

We begin the work week under a void of course Moon, so make Monday all about cleaning up and finishing old projects–which also matches nicely with the end of Mercury’s retrograde shadow on the 6th, this coming Saturday. The one fly in the ointment this week is the Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn; there were probably a few bumps in the road for your pet projects this past lunar cycle and now’s the time to sort through some of those challenges in preparation for a new lunar cycle beginning next week! Before I begin the forecast, please note that the times indicated in this blog are PDT.

31 March 2013 (4 Stars): Ordinarily this would have been a five star day, but we have a total of 10 aspects today, five of which which are challenging, beginning with Venus forming a square to Pluto at 3:10 AM; look out for manipulations on the love/sex front if you’re up and about in the wee hours of the day. That aspect is quickly followed by a Moon-Neptune square at 3:15 AM, so beware of deceptive dealings from others and even some confused thinking of your own. Put off decision making until you have more mental clarity as self sabotage or sabotage from others is a definite possibility at this time.

Spring has sprung and our thoughts turn to optimism and love when Venus forms a sextile to Jupiter at 7:49 AM–just don’t use that optimism as an excuse to party hearty with your credit cards. Creative downloads, surprises and wild, wacky fun with friends arrives via a Moon-Uranus trine at 10:41 AM, so enjoy! The Moon trine the Sun at 3:14 PM offers you intuitive help with your key projects; create a time table to act on your hot new ideas as soon as possible. Careful balancing of time, money or your energy is called for when the Moon opposes Jupiter at 4:03 PM; moderation and compromise are key to not getting yourself into hot water at this time. Spend time with loved ones when the Moon trines Venus at 4:44 PM, but table plans for communicating with others when the Moon squares Mercury at 7:13 PM as you’re likely to find your efforts don’t yield the desired result.

Creative projects may run into major obstacles from a boss, VIP or other bigwig when the Sun squares Pluto at 8:03 PM, so be prepared. You’ll want to take steps to fend off insomnia when the Moon forms a trine to Mars at 10:00 PM; hopefully that cup of coffee or tea you had late in the day won’t keep you awake! And if you can’t sleep, there’s always the 24 hour gym…or a romantic tryst–whichever you prefer! The Moon is void of course after that aspect until late Monday evening; table plans for launching new projects until the Moon switches signs tomorrow.

1 April 2013 (1 Star): This day boasts just one aspect, a sextile between the Sun and Jupiter at 5:24 AM–great for boosting one’s creativity and optimism, if you’re up that is. The day is spent in void of course la-la land though, so you may choose to de-clutter or rest rather than take the world by storm just yet.

It’s time to focus on your career goals when the Moon enters Capricorn at 10:35 PM and remember to be prudent and conservative in your spending habits for the next couple of days as well.

2 April 2013 (3 Stars): The Moon sextile Neptune at 5:48 AM may offer you some prophetic dreams, so make sure you capture them upon waking. Challenges with electronic equipment or erratic behavior from others is possible when the Moon squares Uranus at 1:25 PM. Clean up, organize and plan your key projects when the Moon forms a sextile to Saturn at 3:35 PM and then take time to connect with centers of influence in your industry when the Moon conjoins Pluto at 6:10 PM.

The Last Quarter Moon clocks in at 9:36 PM (Moon square Sun; 13 degrees of Capricorn); if one of your goals–particularly a career goal, has run aground, it’s now time to get out your thinking cap and figure out a new plan of action. This is also a good time to pat yourself on the back for any goals you can tick off your goals list for this lunar cycle! Next week’s New Moon will offer you an opportunity to relaunch any endeavors that fell flat this cycle.

3 April 2013 (1 Star): The Moon square Venus at 12:13 AM may have you lying awake worrying over love or money matters. Not to worry as you may have a new idea to resolve some of your challenges when the Moon forms a sextile to Mercury at 1:57 AM, but the Moon square Mars at 3:35 AM may find you feeling angry or frustrated (possibly because you’re still awake at 3:00 in the morning!). The Moon is void of course after that last aspect and won’t shift signs until Thursday in the wee hours of the day, so spend this day finishing up old projects rather than beginning anything new.

4 April 2013 (2 Stars): The Moon enters Aquarius at 1:41 AM and our key friendships, group associations and deepest desires take center stage for the next day or so. The Moon sextile Uranus at 5:02 PM may offer you an ingenious idea or two to help you with a key project, but you’re likely to have onerous tasks to dispatch when the Moon squares Saturn at 6:48 PM. You’ll be feeling much better about life and maybe even a tad lucky when the Moon trines Jupiter at 11:26 PM. Wouldn’t it wonderful if we could always feel so blessed?

5 April 2013 (3 Stars): The Moon sextile the Sun at 5:11 AM is great for coming up with new ideas for your challenges or projects. You might want to nip into your favorite salon for a pampering treatment when the Moon forms a sextile to Venus at 9:00 AM and then it’s time to get busy with the heavy lifting items on your To-Do List when the Moon forms a sextile to Mars at 10:22 AM. Just remember not to start anything new since the Moon became void of course after that last aspect and won’t change signs until Saturday morning.

6 April 2013 (3 Stars): We’re finally completely done with Mercury’s retrograde and retrograde shadow (yay!). We begin the day with the Moon entering Pisces at 6:00 AM; take time out to smell the roses, see a movie or enjoy creative pursuits during the next couple of days.

The Moon conjoins Neptune at 1:48 PM encouraging creative pursuits or meditation while Venus conjoining Mars at 9:58 PM could create a dynamic romantic energy for you and someone special. We end the day with a work oriented Moon-Saturn trine at 11:21 that hopefully doesn’t cast a pall on what could be a really romantic day for you and your lover…

My monthly Astrological forecast for April goes out 1 April–you can sign up for it here as well as learn as more about the Astrology and Tarot services I offer. I hope you have found this forecast helpful; please share it with friends or family members who you think might find the information helpful. Wishing you a fabulous week and until next time…

The waxing Moon in Gemini gets us off to a pretty good start, but is closely followed by the First Quarter Moon where we will need to check and possibly reboot our plans for this lunar cycle. In addition Mercury returns to forward motion, but it must catch up to its pre-retrograde position (which occurs 6 April 2013) before we are truly free of retrograde surprises. Continue to double check your plans and continue your self-care this week to cope with the week’s stresses

One last note before I begin the predictions, Spring begins this week–and we’re definitely feeling the heat in Los Angeles already. Hopefully you’re enjoying warmer temps in your neck of the woods too and now on with the show (Note: all times indicated in this blog are PDT).

Sunday 17 March 2013 (3 Stars): Moon square Neptune at 6:39 AM hints at self-delusion, mental confusion or even possible deceptions by others. It goes without saying that with this kind of energy present you’ll want to hold off on making agreements until clarity of mind returns (or as much clarity as one can muster while Mercury is retrograde in Pisces anyway). You’re likely to be up early thanks to a sextile between the Moon and Mars at 7:29 AM, but don’t count on hearing much good news when the Moon squares Mercury at 10:30 AM. Hold off on key communications projects and avoid making requests at this time as you’re not likely to receive the answers you want or need.

Speaking of Mercury, it makes its direct station at 1:03 PM and will begin to make up its lost territory in the next couple of weeks (thank goodness). Bright ideas are available to those who need them for problem solving or creative projects when the Moon forms a sextile to Uranus at 2:59 PM. You’ll feel optimistic and back on top of things when the Moon conjoins Jupiter at 6:48 PM as we close out the weekend and prepare for the start of the work week.

Monday 18 March 2013 (4 Stars): We have no exact aspects today, which means there will be nothing blocking your success (except whatever energy you bring to situations). A little self-care in the morning and positive intentions should help you create a positive start to your work week.

Tuesday 19 March 2013 (2 Stars): A square between the Moon and Venus at 5:18 AM may, unfortunately, have you dealing with financial or romantic challenges; the challenges continue when the First Quarter Moon (Moon square the Sun; 29 degrees of Gemini) clocks in at 10:27 AM. Review your plans for this lunar cycle and make changes to get your goals back on track. The Moon is void of course after that last aspect, but quickly enters Cancer at 11:55 AM and then our focus moves to issues around home and family concerns.

There will be inspiration aplenty when the Moon trines Neptune at 7:39 PM, whether you are seeking ideas for creative projects or reconnection to source, you’ll have what you need. Communications projects receive a hefty boost when the Moon trines Mercury at 11:54 PM, so take care of your key written or verbal projects at this time.

Wednesday 20 March 2013 (1 Star): The Moon square Mars at 12:32 AM hints at possible heated exchanges with others or other sleep scuttling challenges in the early hours of the day, so you might want to have the melatonin and lavender essential oils ready to go at bedtime. The Sun enters Aries at 4:02 AM, also known as the Vernal Equinox–so happy Spring everyone! Shocks and surprises of the unwanted kind arrive via a Moon-Uranus square at 4:05 AM; be prepared to deal with wild or eccentric behavior from others if you’re up and about at this hour.

Organization, planning and de-cluttering get the nod when the Moon trines Saturn at 9:41 AM, but we may find ourselves at odds with our boss or other important personage when the Moon opposes Pluto at 11:01 AM; with a bit of forethought you can probably hit upon an amicable agreement all parties can agree to…the Moon is void of course after that last aspect until tomorrow night, so avoid starting new projects in the meanwhile.

Thursday 21 March 2013 (0 Stars): Venus enters Aries at 8:15 PM bringing our focus to our personal financial and beautification projects–hey, spring has sprung, so think about what you might want to do to look and feel your best. The Moon finally enters Leo at 11:50 PM; enjoy creative/romantic projects for the next couple of days.

Friday 22 March 2013 (5 Stars) A plethora of aspects descend today beginning with a love and money supportive trine between the Moon and Venus at 12:14 AM (a late night date gets better after mid-night *wink*). Intuitive prompts may haunt your dreams when the Moon trines the Sun at 3:41 AM, so make sure to have pen and paper at your bedside to capture prophetic gems. You may feel the need for speed or other wild adventures when Mars conjoins Uranus at 11:17 AM, but don’t let your better judgement get lost in the hurly burly of your emotions. The Moon trines Uranus at 3:38 PM and you (or others) will probably still want to be a bit wild and crazy or may find yourself deluged with exciting creative downloads; either way, look for a walk on the wild side at this time.

The need for passion, action or assertiveness returns when the Moon trines Mars at 3:54 PM and we will sail into the evening hours buoyed by feelings of brotherly love and optimism when the Moon sextiles Jupiter at 8:05 PM. All that uplifting energy hits a wall when the Moon squares Saturn at 8:28 PM, so be prepared to have some challenge present itself. It’s likely there will be no easy answers, at least for now; be prepared to make concessions for peace.

Saturday 23 March 2014 (5 Stars): We haven’t any exact aspects today and it’s the weekend, so party hearty and enjoy the energy of a waxing Leo Moon. Next week sports a Full Moon in Libra, highlighting culminations in partnerships of all sorts, so if you have any projects with partners you’d like to bring to completion, now is the time to get moving!

Did you know your birth chart gives a wealth of information about you? Everything from the description of the perfect partners for you to hints about money making opportunities and careers can be found in your chart. Want to learn more? Book your private Tarot or Astrology consultation here.

And that’s a wrap for another week! Join me next Saturday evening for a preview of next week’s Celestial Events; and until then…

Oh, I am soooo not enjoying Mercury retrograde in Pisces these days, how about you? We have quite awhile before it’s over, so my best recommendation is lots of self-care (Reiki, massage, exercise, extra rest, eat healthfully, etc.) and take time out to become aware of where you’re going to make life changes once Mercury gets back to its old self 6 April 2013…

Speaking of Pisces, the waning Moon is transiting through Pisces now and we begin the work week with a New Moon in Pisces. Now is a really good time to begin (or to amp up) your meditation practice; alternatively you can flex your artistic muscles via dance, music, film or other creative projects. Pisces/Neptune rules these activities and you may have noticed an increased interest in creative or spiritual topics recently. Go ahead and indulge yourself, the Universe is giving you a huge thumbs up for these activities at this time.

Oh, and don’t forget to move your clocks forward today an hour if you live in the USA (Note: all times indicated in this blog are PDT).

Sunday 10 March 2013 (4 Stars): The waning Moon in Pisces conjoins its ruler Neptune at 5:20 AM, so have pen and paper at your bedside to capture intuitive/prophetic dreams (and don’t forget to set the intention to receive a helpful dream as you drift off to sleep). The Moon conjoins Mercury at 1:33 PM setting your mental gears whirring and offering an opportunity for you to catch up on your written or verbal communications projects at this time. The Moon square Jupiter at 2:39 PM gives warning to a tendency to want to over-do things at this time; avoid spending too much or making promises that will be difficult to keep.

Take some time to plan and organize your key projects when the Moon trines Saturn at 6:46 PM and then you’ll start the work week organized and ready to go! Later you may want to set plans in motion to be of assistance to major players in your industry when the Moon forms a sextile to Pluto at 7:00 PM; be a friend and boost your rep at the same time!

Monday 11 March 2013 (5 Stars): The Moon conjoins Venus at 4:33 AM smoothing out the wrinkles in your love and money situations as we start a new work week. The Moon conjoins the Sun at 12:51 PM (New Moon at 21 degrees of Pisces) and your creative and spiritual projects should be prepped for lift off now; this is especially true if you’re working on something top secret! Just know the Moon is void of course after that last aspect; wait until the Moon enters Aries tomorrow morning if you absolutely must launch something new.

Mars enters its home sign of Aries at 11:26 PM and it’s on ladies and gentlemen! Time to focus keenly on your key personal projects until Mars enters Taurus 20 April 2013.

Tuesday 12 March 2013 (5 Stars): We have the energy of an early New Moon at our backs and though the energy is still low, you are now relatively free to move about the cabin. Mercury is retrograde, so it’s probably best to work on things that are under wraps under this New Moon (you can spring your new project on the unsuspecting world during the next lunar cycle).

The Moon enters Aries at 4:17 AM and then Mars urges you to get moving when it conjoins the Moon at at 4:35 AM–rather early, I know. You may be overflowing with new creative ideas, exciting news and even a surprise or two when the Moon conjoins Uranus at 6:06 PM. All in all you should finish the day feeling pretty positive about life as the Moon forms a sextile to Jupiter at 8:52 PM.

Wednesday 13 March 2013 (0 Stars): You will want to avoid being out and about in the wee hours of the morning when the Moon squares Pluto at 1:01 AM; angry or violent folks looking for trouble are to be avoided at all costs. The Moon is void of course the remainder of the day, so make this a day to clean up and finish up old projects rather than starting anything new (if you can).

Thursday 14 March 2013 (4 Stars): The Moon finally lopes into Taurus at 12:08 PM; we have to wait till 7:08 PM before its next aspect when it forms an inspirational sextile to Neptune. Be sure to pencil in time for creative projects or meditation after your work day. Be careful not to work yourself up too much via late night conversations or written projects when the Moon forms a sextile to Mercury at 11:39 PM–after all it’s time for a good night’s sleep!

Friday 15 March 2013 (1 Star): The Moon in opposition to Saturn at 9:27 AM may find you at odds with a business partner or lover; seek to find areas of agreement that will work for everyone.

Rubbing shoulders with big wigs or doing some law of attraction work when the Moon trines Pluto at 10:11 AM may yield you a powerful, transformative bit of luck, so go for it!

Saturday 16 March 2013 (4 Stars): Spruce up your beauty routines or take time for a mani/pedi when the Moon forms a sextile to Venus at 9:35 AM. Later you’ll want to cull your intuition for new ideas for key projects when the Moon sextiles the Sun at 4:11 PM; remember, just take notes, no actions for now since the Moon is void of course after that last aspect until 11:09 PM when it enters chatty, yet perceptive Gemini.

Do you want more control over your love, money and career or money matters? Want to get a handle on your opportunities for luck this year? Astrology and Tarot are just the thing to keep you in control of your life; have you seen my video? I walk you through what it is I do as well as some of the tools I use–you can check it out here. I’d love to help, so book your private Astrology or Tarot consultation here.

We begin this first week of March 2013 with a void of course Moon in Scorpio, but in rather short order we switch gears to an outgoing, yet waning Sagittarian Moon. This week we do a final tally on our win/loss ratios when the Last Quarter Moon checks in and then we get our career ducks in order when the Moon switches gear into Capricorn near mid-week. All in all, this isn’t going to be a week for loafers, so prepare to bring your game face to work and you’ll be good to go (Note: all times indicated in this blog are PST).

Sunday 3 March 2013 (1 Star): An insomnia inducing, early morning Moon-Mars trine at 1:19 AM is nothing to get excited about–especially if you’re on Pacific Standard Time. Remember to get out the melatonin and lavender before bed Saturday night; the Moon is void of course after that last aspect until 1:11 PM when it enters Sagittarius. Dealings with people at a distance, publishing concerns, legal situations or college studies are up for review during the next couple of days–maybe even some long distance travel if you’re lucky!

Moon square Neptune at 6:42 PM makes us prone to delusional or unclear thinking; combine this energy with Mercury being retrograde and it’s a good idea to avoid making decisions or signing agreements until a later date.

Monday 4 March 2013 (2 Stars): Although we have a gaggle of aspects today, only two are remotely helpful–well make that one. The Moon trine Uranus at 1:19 AM is another insomnia inducing challenge, bringing shocks and unwelcome, early morning surprises home to roost (hope you didn’t put the lavender or melatonin away just yet). Money and love worries may interfere with a peaceful night’s sleep thanks to a Moon-Venus square at 2:45 AM and we may have overshot our budget (or just shot off our mouth) when the Moon opposes Jupiter at 3:00 AM; either way, chicks of all sorts may be coming home to roost in the wee hours of the morning.

Creative communications may help you sort through the mess when the Sun conjoins Mercury in other worldly Pisces, that is if you’re up 4:58 AM; you might want to set an intention for clever solutions to present themselves during your dream state (hey, it can’t hurt, right?). Venus square Jupiter at 5:53 AM is another hint from the Universe that there’s trouble with our finances or our love lives at this time and the Moon square Mercury at 12:41 PM suggests we have to deal with some rather challenging communications around some of these matters at this time. We wrap up this day ruminating on our wins and losses during this lunar cycle as the Last Quarter Moon arrives at 12:51 PM (Moon square the Sun at 21 degrees of Pisces). Pat yourself on the back for projects completed and make plans to reboot languishing projects at the New Moon…

Tuesday 5 March 2013 (1 Star): An early morning square between the Moon and Mars at 7:28 AM suggests grumpy folks will get out of the bed on the wrong side–and follow you into the office (driving badly all the while, so watch out). The Moon will be void of course after that aspect and will enter Capricorn at 4:14 PM; time for you to look at self-realization and career issues–are you where you want to be in life, that’s the question before you till Thursday evening.

A late in the day sextile between the Moon and Neptune 9:51 PM suggests reinvigorating your spirits via the arts (music, dance, movies, art) or just making time to enjoy a deep meditation may ease your stress before you head off to bed.

Wednesday 6 March 2013 (5 Stars): Ten aspects in total today–and nine of them are positive, for the most part. Capricorn isn’t known as a frivolous sign, so it will be a business oriented day, but that just means it’s time to look at career matters and make solid changes for a better future. We begin with the one really challenging aspect of the day, a square between the Moon and Uranus at 4:28 AM. Be prepared to deal with early morning shocking news or off the wall behavior from some quarter. Look at it this way, Capricorn is a hard working sign, so it gets you up and on your toes early.

A sextile between the Moon and and Venus at 10:36 AM offers a bit of a boost in the love/money life sectors while a Moon-Pluto conjunction at 11:15 AM says pitch the boss or make that presentation to the big wig and see if you can leverage your talents for a more powerful return. Organization, clean-up and planning tasks benefit from a sextile between the Moon and Saturn at 11:22 AM; clean up communication projects when the Moon forms a sextile to Mercury at 12:08 PM. See, I told you it was going to be a busy day!

Venus sextile Pluto at 6:06 PM suggests your finances need some thoughtful reorganization; Venus forms a trine to Saturn at 7:07 PM and it may be time to trim the fat out of the budget or other wise get real where your money is concerned. That last aspect might take the wind out of the sails of your love life as Saturn is stern and not overly friendly where affairs of the heart are concerned. Best to postpone that romantic evening until a better day (unless you can afford to take your love to a top tier eatery–but that last aspect suggests maybe you should just chill for now).

The Moon sextile the Sun at 8:37 PM offers intuitive insights into your circumstances and you may be able to put together an action plan to make use of them at a later date. Mercury conjoins Venus at 8:54; confess your feelings for your lover or have a frank discussion about money–which ever fits your situation best at this time. Lastly, Mercury trines Saturn at 11:17 PM; weighty matters might be disturbing our peace of mind; a bit of light yoga may help you to decompress and leave the worries of the day behind before you head to bed.

Thursday 6 March 2013 (3 Star day): Mercury sextile Pluto at 12:26 AM may set your mental wheels spinning rather than offering you the quiet you need for a good night’s sleep. Either that or an errant phone call in the middle of the night may trouble your sleep; you know the drill, phone off and melatonin on. The Moon sextile Mars at 1:14 PM suggests a trip to the gym or a light walk during your lunch break might be beneficial. Note the Moon is void of course after that last aspect so avoid starting new projects until the Moon enters Aquarius at 7:02 PM. Group associations, deep desires and friendships are in focus under the waning energy of the Aquarian Moon until Saturday night.

Friday 7 March 2013 (3 Stars): Saturn sextile Pluto at 12:03 AM suggests struggles with depression or other dark thoughts can wreak havoc on a good night’s sleep. A bit of Qigong, meditation or light yoga can improve your mood and help you get off to a good night’s sleep. Some shocking bit of news, interesting creative download or other surprise may greet you early in the day as the Moon forms a sextile to Uranus at 7:29 AM. A happier, buoyant mood arrives when the Moon trines Jupiter at 9:34, but we run into another rough patch when the Moon squares Saturn at 2:08 PM; dour or depressing people will try to whammy your Friday ‘the weekend is almost here’ good mood–try to avoid falling prey to them if you can. The Moon is void of course after that last aspect until 10:19 PM Saturday; avoid starting new projects–if you absolutely must start a new deal while Mercury is retrograde and we’re in a waning Moon phase, at least wait until after the Moon changes signs.

Saturday 8 March 2013 (0 Stars): A lackluster, one dismal aspect day with Mercury squaring Jupiter at 7:38 PM; someone will likely jabber endlessly if you’re anywhere within hearing range…not much you can do about it or them, but the Moon switches signs to Pisces at 10:19 PM. Make time for creative pleasures (art, dance, music, movies, etc.,) and take some time for spiritual tune up work to help you move through the lovely Mercury retrograde challenges humanity is handling right now…

Now’s a great time to gain clarity around your key goals and you can book your Astrology or Tarot consultation here (as well as sign up for this month’s Astrology newsletter with all the major Celestial events for March). I will be back this time next week with all the latest Celestial news you can use, until then, take care and…

Full Moon energy is rising as this week begins. The waxing Moon in Leo is void of course Sunday evening as it prepares to make the move to Virgo–the sign of this month’s Full Moon. With both Mercury and Saturn retrograde in water signs Pisces and Scorpio respectively, prepare for a bumpy ride. In addition the energy isn’t too fabulous this week, so self-care should be written into your schedule with a bold pen rather than pencil this week. So, without further ado, here is this week’s astrological predictions (Note: all times indicated in this blog are PST).

Sunday 24 March 2013 (0 Stars): As you can tell by the star count, we get little lift off from Celestial forces. There is only one aspect, a Moon-Venus opposition at 8:50 PM that will require from us careful balancing in love and money matters. The Moon is void of course after that aspect, but enters Virgo at 10:52 PM; health concerns, care of our dependents and our work and service commitments are up for review for the next couple of days.

Monday 25 March 2013 (2 Stars): This day will be a busy one, with many aspects–besides the Full Moon; look sharp to stay on top of the swift pace. We begin with a deceptive opposition between the Moon and Neptune at 4:22 AM; avoid self-delusion and make solid choices that won’t get you into hot water later. Also, avoid making verbal agreements or signing contracts at this time as your thinking may be muddled or others may attempt to deceive you. The Full Moon arrives at 12:26 PM (at 7 degrees of Virgo); Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius natives (and those of you with planets early in the aforementioned signs) are the guests of honor at this Full Moon. Something pertaining to your work situation, health or dependent care concerns is likely to end and you can anticipate news about it within the next 48-72 hours.

Moon square Jupiter at 12:35 PM speaks to painting ourselves into a corner with poor spending or other choices while the Sun square Jupiter seconds the motion that over doing anything is likely to produce problems for us at this time. Venus moves into Pisces at 6:03 PM making our love nature romantic and our aesthetics beautifully ethereal until it switches signs to Aries 22 March 2013. This is a wonderful time to pitch creative projects (art, photography, music, dance or film) for financial reward.

Networking with power players may be one way to catch a lucky break; the Moon trine Pluto at 7:05 PM might net you a big fish if you get busy at meetups or via LinkedIn, etc. This is also an excellent aspect for experiencing a breakthrough in researching a mystery, reforming bad habits or therapeutic counseling work. We wrap up the day with a sextile between the Moon and Saturn at 7:51 PM; sort out your priorities, plan, organize and de-clutter to make the most of the energy from this aspect.

Tuesday 26 February 2013 (1 Star): Another lack luster day and our one bright aspect, a Mercury-Mars conjunction arrives at 1:09 AM. This aspect may create insomnia issues or spark arguments and is probably best for preparing a presentation or other communication events that requires passion. Mercury is on a roll as it gets into an opposition with the Moon at 9:22 AM; this is definitely a day to keep calm and maintain a diplomatic focus in your communications. Mars jumps back into the fray with an opposition with the Moon at 10:13 AM; the Full Moon energies haven’t dissipated, so take it easy out there. The Moon is void of course after that aspect; finish up old projects and if you haven’t seen anything culminate from the Full Moon yet, keep your eyes open!

Wednesday 27 February 2013 (1 Star): The Moon enters Libra at 5:02 AM and our key partnerships are front and center for the next couple of days. The Moon opposes Uranus at 5:11 PM; expect wild, erratic and stubborn interactions with others to pop up out of the blue. Our optimism returns and even a bit of good luck to boot when the Moon trines Jupiter at 6:35 PM.

Thursday 28 February 2013 (1 Star): We prepare to bid goodbye to February 2013 with an opening salvo of a Moon-Venus square at 12:37 AM. Compromise may not even be an option in our dealings with loved ones or in money matters at this time–just do what you have to and make things work. Beware of being too idealistic though or even overly romantic when Venus conjoins Neptune at 5:37 AM; you definitely won’t be seeing clearly, so make agreements at a later date…much later seeing as how Mercury is retrograde. This is a good aspect for dreaming up new creative projects, however…just note that you should dream them up now and act on them later since the Moon is void of course until 9:33 AM tomorrow when it enters Scorpio.

Friday 1 March 2013 (5 Stars): We’re back in the game after the post Full Moon pall with a sextile between the Sun and Pluto at 5:35 AM; let people see your creative power or touch bases with key players in your industry. Whip creative projects into shape; organize and plan them for best results when the Sun trines Saturn at 12:31 PM. Saturn has a dampening effect on our energy, so note this aspect may make you feel a bit rundown.

Creative and mystical energies are on the rise when the Moon trines Neptune at 3:01 PM; perhaps a little afternoon meditation is in order? Money and love matters are back on track when the Moon trines Venus at 6:13 PM–so meet with a loved one after work and celebrate surviving this week’s energies! Margaritas all around!

Saturday 2 March 2013 (5 Stars): Moon sextile the ruler of Scorpio, Pluto at 4:49 AM is good for some law of attraction or visualization work. Onerous chores may have you up and at ’em early this morning when the Moon conjoins Saturn at 5:16 AM; you’re likely to yield a good outcome for your efforts, so knock your chores out early and enjoy a Moon-Sun trine at 6:35 AM. You should net some wonderful, creative ideas for your key projects, which you would have missed had you stood in bed! Make calls and handle important communications projects when the Moon trines Mercury at 12:48 PM.

And that’s a wrap! We’re coming up on the end of the first quarter of 2013 already! Now might be a good time to have a reading to see how your key projects are lining up for the year or to sort out challenges in work, love or money matters. I will be available for readings Saturday and Sunday; you can sign up for my free Astrology newsletter and book your private Astrology or Tarot reading here.

The first month of the new year is already slipping away as we begin this week. Did the Full Moon illuminate something previously hidden from your view? That’s what they do and this time it might have been with regard to romance, creative projects or affairs involving children. Monday afternoon the Moon switches signs to Virgo and we focus on holistic health therapies, work/service and care of our dependents. This is an excellent time to stock up on vitamins, herbs, and other health aids to keep you in the pink.

Speaking of health–I mentioned in my last blog piece that the Full Moon was sitting directly on my Sun–yay me. What has (re)surfaced is a rather pesky, persistent health issue, and fairly serious so I am going to take a short hiatus to review my work and business situations; no doubt changes will have to be made. I will reboot this blog 10 February 2012 and appreciate your patience while I try to get my health back on track.

If you receive my astrological newsletter, the February overview will also be delayed. I will include the pertinent Celestial events that transpire while I’m on break here in this blog, so no one has to miss a thing. Not currently receiving my Astro Ezine? Sign up here!

3-9 February Celestial Events:

3 February 2012; Last Quarter Moon at 15 degrees of Scorpio (5:56 AM) – Review plans for the current lunar cycle and wrap up those items that are complete. Plan to reboot or launch new projects after the New Moon.

9 February 2012; New Moon at 22 degrees of Aquarius (11:20 PM).

But enough of the coming attractions for February, let’s see what the upcoming week has in store (Note: all times indicated in this blog are PDT).

Sunday 27 January 2013 (0 Stars): Duties and responsibilities may wear you down in the early morning hours when the Moon squares Saturn at 3:43 AM; feelings of depression may also be a challenge if you’re up early in the day, so think in terms of self-care if today feels particularly challenging. Avoid getting caught up in a useless cycle of what you coulda, woulda, shoulda done when the Moon opposes Mercury at 10:09 AM; the tension that comes with this aspect may have your mind jumping around like long tailed cats on a porch full of rockers. Again, your best bet is to get in some self-care work to calm down and return to an easy, focused state.

Monday 28 January 2013 (0 Stars): As you can tell by the star count, we get little help from Celestial forces as we start the work week. Watch your health (and your temper) when the Moon opposes Mars at 8:59 AM. The Moon is void of course after that last aspect until 3:27 PM when it enters Virgo, so avoid starting new projects until the Moon switches signs.

Close relationships bear watching as all may not be what it seems when the Moon opposes Neptune at 7:07 PM; your thinking will be clouded at this point, it’s probably best to postpone making any important decisions until you can think a bit more clearly.

Tuesday 29 January 2013 (2 Stars): The stars are back on the scoreboard, but we begin the day with a square between the Moon and Jupiter at 3:14 AM; over doing is a no, no; over spending, over doing, over promising–just say no. The transformative power of the Moon forming a trine to Pluto at 10:36 AM is excellent for revealing mysterious maladies or overturning negative habit patterns; therapeutic work done at this time might be particularly powerful. A sextile between the Moon and Saturn at 12:13 PM is an excellent time for getting your home office in tip-top shape or planning your pet projects for a successful outcome.

Wednesday 30 January 2013 (1 Star): Jupiter returns to forward motion at 3:37 AM–great news for all air sign natives, but especially for Gemini peeps. Romantic, creative and even life force/health issues can be a challenge when the Sun squares Saturn at 2:49 PM. Fixed sign natives (Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus and Leo) will particularly want to pay attention to nagging health symptoms. Make time for a loved one or drop into your favorite salon to look and feel your best when the Moon trines Venus at 5:59 PM. The Moon is void of course after that last aspect until it enters Libra at 10:36 PM (time to focus on key relationships for the next couple of days).

Thursday 31 January 2013 (2 Stars): The Moon in opposition to Uranus at 8:43 AM creates upsets, shocking news and irritable/unstable behavior in others–try to keep a low profile during this period. Good fortune and or optimism reigns when the Moon forms a trine to Jupiter at 10:00 AM. The Moon square Pluto at 5:16 PM reveals secrets and brings out the worst in bullies, VIP’s and those with anger management issues; avoid known suspects like the plague this afternoon! Clever, intuitive ideas pop up for you to capture and activate during the next lunar cycle–take good notes so you’ll know what to do later.

Friday 1 February 2013 (5 Stars): A stellar day that builds until 5:03 PM when the Moon trines Mercury; take good notes, there’s bound to be a lot of great conversation going on today! The Moon is void of course until tomorrow morning so postpone launches until the Moon enters Scorpio at 4:02 AM. Mars enter Pisces at 5:54 PM (time to rev up those creative projects and make good on your promise to meditate more). Later Venus hops into Aquarius at 6:47 PM; our beauty aesthetics and love interests will take a walk on the wild side until 26 February when Venus enters Pisces.

Saturday 2 February (4 Stars): The Moon trines Mars at 4:39 AM–expect to be up and at ’em early in the day. Love and money run into obstacles when the Moon squares Venus at 4:57 AM; come up with some winning solutions via meditation when the Moon trines Neptune at 7:45 AM. You may be feeling the urge to get something off your chest when the Moon forms a sextile to Pluto at 10:14 PM–only you know whether it’s better to speak up or hold your piece. The moody blues arrive courtesy of the Moon conjoining Saturn at 11:45 PM; self-care is your best bet for beating feelings of angst or depression.

Your chart is a gold mine of information–everything from the careers that are most likely to be fulfilling (and potentially lucrative) to the types of lovers or mates that would suit you best can be found in your birth and transit charts.

And with that, I bid you adieu–looking forward to being back with you 10 February 2013; till then take care and…

We are headed toward the middle of the first month of 2013–though you wouldn’t know it from some of the dates I have written of late; are you still writing 2012 too? Anyway, we have a new lunar phase up to bat, the waxing Aquarius Moon settles into Pisces Monday morning (after a long void of course on Sunday) and a First Quarter Moon on Friday (which means reboot your plans folks). Let’s get to it (Note: all times indicated in this blog are PST)!

Sunday 13 January 2013 (1 Star): The problem isn’t challenging aspects–there is only one, but it’s a high powered conjunction between the Moon and Mars at 12:37 AM (terrible for sleeping, unfortunately), and then the Moon is void of course until the wee hours of Monday morning. So plan a day of rest, cleaning up, finishing up and or meditation–no new launches during the lengthy void of course period please.

Monday 14 January 2013 (4 Stars): We begin the work week under the energy of a water sign for the second week in a row when the Moon enters Pisces at 2:49 AM. Make sure that you have pen and paper at the ready for the monthly Moon-Neptune conjunction at 5:20 AM; who knows what tantalizing tidbits of prophecy the Universe will send via your dreams? Just be ready to catch them when they arrive! Avoid over spending, over promising or over doing things when the Moon opposes Jupiter at 2:26 PM; thankfully money and love receive a bit of a boost from a Moon-Venus sextile at 3:21 PM! So perhaps humanity makes it through Monday unscathed after all!

Some powerful affirmations, healing or therapeutic modalities offer hope and transformation when the Moon forms a sextile to Pluto at 7:48 PM. Don’t let down early though; take advantage of a trine between the Moon and Saturn at 9:01 PM to sort through your tax paperwork, de-clutter, organize and otherwise get yourself together as we close out this first day of the work week.

Tuesday 15 January 2013 (5 Stars): We build all day toward a sextile between the Moon and Mercury at 10:54 PM–a great day for handling communication matters and we’re free of void of course energy, so it’s a pretty good day for a change!

Wednesday 16 January 2013 (5 Stars): This is a banner day that begins with a sextile between the Moon and Sun at 1:32 AM; if you’re up at this hour jot down brilliant downloads, but work on them later since the Moon is void of course after that aspect. The Moon enters Mars ruled Aries at 8:07 AM; later Venus conjoins Pluto at 5:27 PM. What happens when our affections conjoin with the planet of Power & Mystery? Who knows–maybe your dream mate (or career move) appears! Keep your eyes open, there should be some moving and shaking within the 24 hours before and after this aspect. This energy is amplified by the Moon conjoining Uranus at 5:38 PM; Uranus is the Awakener, bringing shocks, surprises and ingenious creative ideas. Lives will change today–maybe yours will be among them!

The Universe tosses us a bit of luck to close out the day in the form of a sextile between Moon and Jupiter at 8:28 PM; if you journal, you might want to jot down some thoughts about this day or the week as events reveal themselves to you.

Thursday 17 January 2013(2 Stars): Angry folks, VIP’s and bosses on a tear–that’s the energy that starts this day as Venus squares Pluto at 2:38 AM. Later our love and money situations hit major obstacles as the Moon squares Venus at 3:37 AM. We discipline ourselves and sort out the mess when Venus forms a sextile to Saturn at 8:03 AM–and all’s right with our world again. A trip to the gym or a run helps us work off the stress from the day; a sextile between the Moon and Mars at 6:27 PM gives us the energy to make it happen.

Friday 18 January 2013 (2 Stars): Sleep may be hard to come by when the powerful energy of the Sun combines with the energy of communications master Mercury at 12:56 AM; well, you should at least get some great creative ideas (or maybe have an amazing chat with a new romantic partner–thanks to that Venus conjunction with Pluto last Wednesday)! The First Quarter Moon arrives at 3:45 PM (Moon square the Sun at 29 degrees of Aries); check your key goals and plans to see if they are threatening to jump the track somewhere; do some quick recalibrating to get things back under control.

Communications may be offline when the Moon squares Mercury at 4:40 PM; the Moon is void of course after that aspect so go with the flow and put off new projects until the Moon enters Taurus at 5:36 PM. Creatives and mystics will enjoy the Moon-Neptune sextile at 8:49 PM; take time out to do some art work, dance, make music or just meditate to get the best from this aspect. Mercury enters its higher octave sign of Aquarius at 11:25 PM–your best thinking and creating is yet to come!

Saturday 19 January 2013 (2 Stars): Make time for law of attraction, affirmations or visualization work when the Moon trines Pluto at 1:30 PM. Happy Birthday Aquarians–the Sun enters Aquarius at 1:52 PM!

The Moon in opposition to Saturn at 3:05 PM may bring challenges in business, with partners or in your health (particularly if you are a Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus or Leo Sun Sign native). The trine between the Moon and Venus at 9:17 PM brings a bright light to your love life or to money concerns and should go a long way toward helping you forget your troubles!

The first full week of 2013 begins with a waning Moon in Scorpio, that means transmutation, transformation, mystical and intimate experiences are in focus–no lightweight stuff in sight! Clean up old projects and prepare for a bit of low energy as this lunar cycle winds down to a close (the New Moon is on the horizon for Friday in Capricorn). The energy is at its lowest Wednesday through Friday as we enter the dark of the Moon phase; self care is extremely beneficial (Reiki, chakra balancing, exercise, extra rest and healthy foods, etc.); do what you can to keep your energy and mood up through the first couple of days of the New Moon cycle. And now, on with the show (Note: all times indicated in this blog are PST)!

Sunday 6 January 2012 (5 Stars): Inspirational or prophetic dreams haunt our sleep when the Moon trines Neptune at 12:15 AM; paper and pen at your bedside please, to capture nocturnal wanderings and insights. Rise early and pencil in plans to do some major release or affirmation work when Mercury conjoins Pluto at 8:42 AM–time to transform those negative thoughts and habits that keep you locked in unsatisfactory circumstances!

Avoid ruffling the feathers of known caustic or angry folks when the Moon squares Pluto at 2:05 PM; if you’re the type who is easily angered, try a quick walk around the block or other frustration alleviating activity to surmount tension. Another transformative aspect arrives in the form of a Moon-Pluto sextile at 2:24 PM; this one doesn’t pack quite the same wallop, but if you slept through this morning’s Mercury-Pluto aspect you can still do a bit of law of attraction work now and it will stand you in good stead. Communications projects get the green light when the Moon forms a sextile to Mercury at 3:06 PM; you can knock out those blogs, emails or presentations before the close of the weekend–kudos to you! Take some time to organize your communications projects when Mercury forms a sextile to Saturn at 3:44 PM; yes it will feel like work, but you’ll be glad to have it over and done with when you finish.

Monday 7 January 2012 (1 Star): We’re back to our one/two star weekly melodrama as we begin the first full work week of 2013; remember what I said about self-care this week and make time for some energy work before the first back to school/work sessions of the New Year. A Moon-Sun sextile at 3:31 AM comes a bit too early, but if you’re up, pay attention to intuitive insights and pencil them in for action at a later date since the Moon is void of course after that aspect until tomorrow. A square between Mars and Saturn at 11:33 AM is probably going to create a lot of stubborn, grouchy energy. A mid-day break at the gym or an early lunch with a nice walk helps melt away tensions.

Tuesday 8 January 2013 (3 Stars): The Moon enters Sagittarius at 12:28 AM; athletic activity, writing/publishing projects, dealings with the law, higher education institutions, people from or at a distance or religious activities will be the focus over the next several days (think big)! A square between the Moon and Neptune arrives at 2:34 AM; thankfully those of us on the left coast are sleeping; everyone else be on the lookout for foggy/deceptive thinking or inaccurate information from some quarter. No signing agreements of any kind until you’re able to think more clearly. Dynamite insights (sometimes literally) come swooping in care of a trine between the emotional Moon and ingenious Uranus at 8:29 AM; do what you can to harness the energy for your own key projects.

The latter aspect might lead you to think a little too big, especially when the Moon opposes Jupiter at 12:05 PM. Think in a balanced way–you probably haven’t hit the lottery yet and the after Christmas bills may be pending, so make sane choices at this time. A quick jog or trip to the gym is a healthful way to take advantage of the sextile between the Moon and Mars at 6:28 PM–and helps you avoid devolving into arguments with others.

Venus enters Capricorn at 8:11 PM and it will be all about the Benjamins now till 2 February when Venus decamps for Aquarius; what did love have to do with it anyway, seriously?!

Wednesday 9 January 2013 (5 Stars): Only one aspect and it’s a chipper sextile between Venus and Neptune at 9:46 PM; all that glitters may not be gold, but it darn sure will be pleasing to the eye (and the spirit), so enjoy! Oh, and the Moon is void of course after that last aspect until tomorrow morning…

Thursday 10 January 2013 (4 Stars): The Moon’s swift move into Capricorn at 12:54 AM is the prelude to tomorrow’s New Moon; ambitions, frugality, planning, and perseverance are the watch words for this Moon transit. Inspirational dreams arrive courtesy of a Moon-Neptune sextile at 3:03 AM, so be ready with pen or paper at your bedside. Love and money are in a really good place for you as the Moon conjoins Venus at 3:31 AM, but a square between the Moon and Uranus brings arbitrary and unconventional behavior–be prepared. Power to burn when the Moon conjoins Pluto at 4:22 PM–this would be more helpful if it happened after the New Moon; use it now to release those aspects of your career ambitions that no longer work for you. Planning and organizational activities help you create order in your world when the Moon forms a sextile to Saturn at 5:18 PM.

Friday 11 January 2013 (5 Stars): The Moon conjoining Mercury at 4:25 AM makes you a communication whiz–unfortunately it’s 4:25 AM…if you’re awake, work on communications projects, but make your pitch for a new objective after the New Moon arrives and after the void of course that immediately follows today’s New Moon. Speaking of said New Moon, it arrives at 11:44 AM at 22 degrees of Capricorn; your career and personal fulfillment objectives are up to bat during this lunar cycle. What can you do to hit the bullseye (career wise) this year? The Moon won’t leave void status until tomorrow, so avoid starting anything new until then.

Saturday 12 January 2013 (2 Stars): The Moon enters ingenious Aquarius at 1:10 AM; clever creative ideas, technological prowess, friends, group associations and our deepest desires are in focus for the next couple of days. And speaking of ingenious…ingenious ideas are free for the picking when the Moon forms a sextile to Uranus (Aquarius’ ruling planet) at 9:09 AM. Good luck, good fortune and optimism abound when the Moon trines Jupiter at 12:11 PM–lotto ticket anyone? Onerous people or situations present themselves to you when the Moon squares Saturn at 5:58 PM (oh yay) followed by disruptions around love and money concerns (Venus square Uranus at 8:13 PM). You might want to spend the afternoon hours at home by your lonesome–seriously.
